C. S. LewisI have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity.

C. S. LewisSubmit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. . . look to Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
C. S. Lewis
